Juniper Pass is a fantastic ascent on Highway 103, taking you high into the Front Range of the Rockies. Over approximately 14.7 to 14.8 miles, you'll gain around 3,400 to 3,500 feet at a steady average gradient of about 4.3-4.6%, rarely feeling overly steep as you wind your way up through thick forests. The scenery is consistently beautiful, with trees lining the road for much of the climb, gradually giving way to more open vistas and stunning views of the surrounding peaks as you approach the 11,130-foot Juniper Pass summit, where the air is thin but the high-altitude views are well worth the effort.
